Poor America
Blame our financial woes on poor spellers, like the intellectual charity case in the White House.
By Garrison Keillor [2008-03-26]

  • A "HeadsUp!" to The Canadian Geezer

    "Count me in as one of those who has signed up for a membership in the "Correctness Party, the party of good spellers, of people who pay attention to details. Would that we could send a fair number of the ’Nattering Nabobs of Negativism” back to school for remedial work as well."

    Sorry, but you can't have it both ways. When that illustrious politico, our own Vice President Spiro Agnew (in Nixon's presidency), spoke of "Nattering Nabobs of Negativism," I believe he was referring TO your Correctness Party, the party of good spellers, people who pay attention to details.
